Digital Downtown CES Booth: LVCC South Hall Booth #21266E within the HDMI TechZone www.hdmi.org The HDMI interface is the uncompressed, all-digital, global connectivity standard that delivers true HD quality for consumer electronics and PC products via a single cable. A single HDMI cable transmits digital video, multichannel surround sound, and advanced control data and replaces as many as 11 older cables. Its simplicity is matched only by its extraordinary performance. High-bandwidth, all-digital, and never compressed, HDMI provides the highest possible signal quality. 229 million HDMI-enabled devices will be available in 2008, and analysts expect more than a billion HDMI devices by 2010, when every digital TV will feature at least one HDMI port. HDMI connectivity is already standard on a wide range of products, from HDTVs and Blu-ray Disc players to multimedia PCs, gaming systems and digital camcorders. HDMI offers the convenience of a one-cable solution, plus the power and performance of a high-speed digital link.
